Is massaging your Gums good for you.?!


Question:

Is massaging your Gums good for you.?

I read in a Indian book that once a day you should massage your gums with edible oil.
It sounds good but if you apply too much presuure that can be bad.
What doyou think


Answers:

Massaging your gums with edible oil is not a scientifically proven way of improving gum health. Although many alternative therapy methods can be useful, flossing daily is a much surer bet that you're gums are going to be better off.

It's important to take care not to use anything sharp around your gums, or rub too hard with even a soft object. This can cause gums to shrink, exposing sensitive root surfaces that are otherwise protected.
